Technical producer, Ryan Berschinger our execs. I get a producer
in Isaac Low and cron Is at the news desk, Hollins,
(01:03):
let's get this thing rolling again for another hour in
for CNR here on a Wednesday. I went to a
ballgame last night. Saw the Dodgers beat the Rockies at
Dodger Stadium, final score six to two. Tommy Edmund four
hits last night for the Dodgers. Sho Heyo Tani really
didn't do anything last night for the Dodgers. I tried
(01:23):
to record every at bat. She's hoping there'd be a
home run and would have a great view and could
put it up on social media, maybe get some traction.
But instead it was I think he walked at one
point and struck out. So I just have a bunch
of short at bats from sho Heyo Tani on my phone.
But I thoroughly enjoyed last night, not only because of
the great scene that was put on at Dodger Stadium
(01:45):
Ryan for Jackie Robinson Day. But I do like live events.
I've noticed as I've gotten older, I don't like to
deal with traffic. I don't like to deal with parking
and those sorts of things, and like getting to your seats.
And I went with Doug Gottlieb Show producer Jason Stewart
last night. He was kind enough to invite me along
(02:06):
at one point. Yeah, it was awesome, And Jason went
to go and grab a drink at the concessions and
then two girls came down and said, you're in our seats.
So I was in the wrong section. At the time,
we had already gone through a bag of peanuts, so
the game hadn't even started. Shells everywhere, and these two
poor women had to sit where all of our peanut
shells were. Well, we were actually a section over. Still,
(02:29):
with that being said, it was a great experience. It's
a different experience obviously when you're an adult as opposed
to as a kid. But I still get excited about
going two live events, and when you're at live events
and when you're at these games and at these spectacles.
And as I've gotten older, I feel that the parking
(02:51):
and stuff and the drive and how it takes time
out of your day and you have other stuff like
that can all creep in and make it a negative experience.
There is something about being at the ballpark that I
think so many sports fans can can you know, relate to,
And it's something about whether it's a ballpark or an
arena in your case with the Rockets, And that's where
(03:13):
I kind of want to go with this. And I'm
curious on Bursa's thoughts and Chris Burfett and Isaac Glowing Kron.
Isaac's you know, done play by play at all levels,
for for college basketball, college football, the NFL, the whole deal.
So he's kind of a little bit in your boat
with media wise, Ryan, But you're also a former athlete
that's been a decade in the NBA. Do you get
(03:35):
excited for live events? Is it still there for you?
Can you go back to when you were a kid
and maybe able to, you know, go to an NFL game,
or go to a baseball game, or go to an
NBA game? Is it the same for you after playing
in the league for so long and now being a
television analyst.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I finally get to enjoy the game. It's the coolest
thing about what I do. I get to enjoy it.
And when you're playing, you get there early, you got
shoot around that day, you've been through practice, you got family.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
You don't get to enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
And if there's a guest or somebody at the game,
they're waiting until you get done working out or showering
or whatever. Like you're at work. You're working now, Make
no mistake, Da, It's not mistaken. I'm working too, but
my hours are much different. When the game starts, or
we do you know, our pregame hit before we roll
(04:39):
into the broadcast, I start. Then when the buzzer goes,
or I have my last hit, I'm done. If you're
a coach, you're watching film after the game. If you're
a player, you're working out at the game. If you win, loser, draw,
you're taking that one home with you.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Buddy.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
You know what I feel the losses, I feel the wins,
maybe a lot more than I should, Dan, I admit,
But at the end of the day, I get to
go home and rest and focus on you know, my
family where you know I grew up, Dan, and you
grew up also, whether we said Banana or Mississippi in
the generation where.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You were one thousand and one, one thousand, right.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But like if you lost, you took it home with you.
Like for a long time, when I would lose, we
all met. Don't talk to me, don't nothing. I took
those losses home. It wasn't until later on that I
learned to, you know, manage my emotions with the game
and manage my frustrations and know that it's not my
famili's or anybody else's fault.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
But that's what you know.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Coaches don't laughing on the bus, No talking on the bus,
you know you just lost the game. You know, have
some professionalism. Those are all the things that we would
have to take in. But now now I get to
enjoy the game, Damprus. I get to enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's it. That's cool.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Then I'll give you this, like I'll have family.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
If somebody comes down or and before the game and
you know, I'm kind of hanging out in the court
or talking with them and they're.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Like, well, do you have to go? Do you have
to do They're so used to be doing stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I'm like, nope, I don't work until you know, we'll
do our hit, you know, thirty or thirty five or
twenty five on the clock. It's always different, but it's
it's it's so I'm enjoying the game. It's a completely
different aspect. So to answer, it's almost like a for me, Dan,
like a retirement, like a like I get to see
(06:29):
the stuff that as a player, like you know, like
in the huddle, you didn't want to be the guy
off looking at.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
The cheerleaders or shook at the halftime show, right.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
You get screamed that for that, right, I would say
that I would think it would probably get old walking
from the tunnel to the court for you, like because
you've done it so many times in an arena, But
that is that's the rush for me as a fan,
is that first glimpse of the field, specifically in a
(06:56):
football stadium, because it's usually surrounded, you know, a glassed out.
At Dodger Stadium, we went in through center field newly renovated,
and then you're seeing parts of it. But there's something
about like walking to like where your tunnel is or
where your seat is and then taking you know, because
it feels like there's a ramp, maybe an incline, but
any when you all of a sudden break through and
(07:19):
you see the stadium, that to me is as close
to sports nirvana, especially at a place where you've never
been before, where if it's been a stadium or a
ballpark and you remember all this history and you say, wow,
this is how I thought it looked. But this is
actually how it looks. And I'm forty eight years old
and I still will get that feeling if I ever
(07:41):
go to a new, a new ballpark. My goal this year,
Ryan true Story is the Bills are getting a new stadium.
I want to see what high Mark Stadium looks like.
And there are only going to be what like ten
more games left in that stadium. I want to figure
out away this fall to go see what it was like.
(08:03):
And then when you go there, you can think, oh,
this is where this is when the Bills came back
from their thirty five you know point deficit to the
Houston Oilers in that playoff game, and this is where
Jim Kelly did this, and this is where Josh Allen
did that. Like that's stuff that I'm looking forward to
as a sports fan. And even though I feel like
I'm jaded, I've been very fortunate throughout my broadcasting career
(08:26):
to go to a lot of really cool events and
be in a lot of cool places and be in
locker rooms when Super Bowl trophies were awarded and NBA,
you know, Larry O'Brian trophies, the same thing World Series.
But there is still something there about going to the game,
and I thought, just from your perspective, just not only
as a player, but you see one hundred Rockets games
(08:47):
a year, you know, like at some point are you
just like okay enough, it's kind of you know, it's
just kind of The arena is basically your second bedroom,
you know that the guest bedroom in your place. I
was curios if it's still had that effect.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Well, you know, the best part of the games for
me is the NBA is a fraternity. So before the
games I get to see like, you know, I'm not
you know, almost half a century like you, Dan, but
I mean, like, hell.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Far behind Ryan Hollands. That's not get a choice here,
You're not that far. You're not talking about the twenty
eight year old Ryan Hollins right now. I know that
for sure. Oh I got that, but look not the case.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
No, And I realized it because guess what, like a
lot of my friends are like head coaches now or
like you know, player development or you know, front office
exacts or former teammates of mine are there. Where in
the past all my friends were like players are still
in college or something. And you know, before the game,
(09:53):
you know, for instance, like I'll Dan, you know, the
cool thing.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
I can go.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
In into a game and I and walk into the
coach's locker room and say hello to him before the game.
There's a lot of former players, a lot of front
office people. Like I get to go and I get
to talk to those people before the game and I
get I get inside scoops and see how you're doing.
(10:17):
I get to see the players and guys and say, man,
how you doing?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
You good? And you know, what's this? Like what's that? Like?
It's the it's the fraternity before the game is my game.
That's the part.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I really not that I enjoy the game, but like, man,
you see someone you dan you imagine every game I go,
I see someone I hadn't seen possibly in ten fifteen years. Man,
you know it could be from college. It's just you
never know. So for me, that's the that's the goal, dude,
that's the gold. I'm and I'm blessed.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I think it's an interesting look into a retired athlete's
you know, view on things. You've been in every main
you know, sporting of events venue that there is when
it comes to the sport of basketball. I mean, heck,
you play your college polypavilion. I mean there's like, you know,
like you've been there, and I was curious on your experience.
(11:09):
I want to bring in the crew Isaac Lohingkron voice
of the Angel City FC in so many voices elsewhere.
Do you still get that feel even as a broadcaster
that's again broadcast NFL games, college hoops, college football, the
whole deal. Do you still get that field going to
the stadium?
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I still do as a broadcaster, and in fact, it
gets better and more profound as each year goes by,
which is interesting because on the flip side, because of that,
I cannot go to a game as a fan. I
can't remember the last time I've been to a game
as a fan or wanted to go as a fan.
(11:45):
In fact, I'll be totally honest, I have a tremendous
amount of respect for the modern sports fan because of
the money it costs to go to a game and
the hassle, the traffic, the parking, the concessions, annoying fans
who might be around you. You know, Ryan and I
are fortunate enough, and you Dan, when you're working these games,
(12:06):
you know, we typically don't have to deal with the
traffic because we get there two and a half three
hours before games, so it's kind of a totally different
experience and just one quick anecdote the same thing, though
the same feeling. There's also an awesome feeling about being
in a completely empty arena and stadium before the fans
(12:28):
come in, before the music turns on. And one of
the most profound memories that I have one of the
coolest things I've ever been lucky enough to do during
his career when I was covering the Lakers, Kobe Bryant
would practice on the court at Staples Center now the
crypt or whatever by himself at four o'clock in the
(12:48):
afternoon before every seven thirty game. He was the only
guy out there, and I got a chance to watch
him by himself, one of the greatest to ever do it,
practiced by myself, backstay back, by himself, backstage, if you will,
before anybody ever got in. The only thing better than
that was the times I used to watch Ryan Hollins
practice during his career.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But that's another story.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Sure, Yeah, apples apples to apples. Yeah, that's that's what
it is. No disrespect. There are advantages, but I just
I realized that like that, there's always going to be
I guess there's always going to be the kid in
me and and I I now in most cases, don't
(13:29):
like going as a credentialed member of the media. I'm
the exact opposite of Isaac. And last night, I'm sitting
there in seats and we had really good seats last night,
and I'm seeing people hug each other as they leave.
Now I'm thinking to myself, are they hugging each other
because they like met up for the game and left,
or they honestly just season ticket holders? And I came, hey, man,
(13:50):
I'll see you, and you know, next home Dan Dodgers
end up go to Texas, you know, this weekend, and
it's kind of like a goodbye that when you have
season tickets with people around you, it's not that they
become family, but they sure become a part of your life,
where a hug is at least warranted when you see
them or let them go.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So it's a complete It's such a unique.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Sort of thing.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Ryan Bursinger, You know, I it's funny because I do
relate to a lot of what Isaac is mentioning. I
went to the Dodger game on Monday night, and I
had this sort of similar experience where for me being
at the game and watching the game itself, I do
feel that it's a ton of fun. I love it,
but I equate it to like traveling. I love to travel,
(14:31):
I love to see new places, but the actual process
of traveling is such a hassle. It is so stressful
going to the airport. Yes, yes, all of that, and
I don't I'm sure that people experience this all throughout
the country and all throughout the world, but I think,
especially in LA we really feel this. For a Dodger
game itself, you're you get to the parking it takes
(14:53):
forever to get into the parking lot. They'll park you
wherever they want to put you. It can be as
far away as possible, and you walk all the way
get into the stadium. Eventually get in, and then you
get through the aisles and the passage ways where all
the convene the food is and everything, and those are
just super jam packed, and it takes forever to eventually
get to your seat. Your seat could be on the
(15:13):
other side of the stadium for you enter, So it's
like such a hassle. And that's what happened to me
on Monday. It was a super jam packed game. We
eventually got to the seats. I got this. I got
a nacho helmet. It was a flame and hot nachos.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
They were great.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
But by the time I get to my seat, I
realized I didn't grab a fork at any point, and
these are completely loaded nachos, and so I'm sitting there.
I carried these nachos for ten minutes, waiting to finally
eat them, and so I resigned myself. I'm like, I'm
just gonna dive in with my hand and deal with it.
Oh that Eventually I did get a fork, but that
(15:46):
was about nothing.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Stuff from the treats.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
No, no, you're not gonna stop me. So but once
i'm I'm in my seat and watching the game, and
I get to hang out there for the next couple hours.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's a ton of fun, but getting there such a hass.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I want to get Chris Prophet's thought. But there's there's
something with this as well. As I remember going to
games as a kid, and I think I was. I
was so in awe of the field again, like of
seeing it for the first time. I remember the first
time seeing lambeau Field and walking through and going to
to you know, my first NFL game and just like,
(16:20):
oh wow, this is crazy. But you're also as a kid,
I'm inavid with the stars, you know, and the and
the players that you would see to play. So I'm
more about seeing, you know, at that time, all right,
who's on? You know, who are the you know, where's
James Lofton and you know Sterling Sharp in those early
(16:40):
Packard days or what you know, whatever team's coming into town.
In terms of oh, you know Jim McMahon, Walter Payton
or they're playing the Bears. Those are the things that
you're like, oh, that's all there. He is there, he
is there is. Now that I'm older, it's different being
a fan and being a fan of players because now
you're older them and it's weird. It's so it's more
of the atmosphere. I was even just watching the lawn crew,
(17:03):
you know, the field crew last night. I said, how
does Major League Baseball not market their garden hoses for
the fields because forty year old guys like me that
are now obsessed with their lawns. I'd be like, yeah,
I got the official watering hose of the Dodgers. It's
the exact one that they use on the field, Like,
there's so many different things now at the ballpark that
I was enamored with last night and watching that I
(17:25):
hadn't been to in nine years, but it's still there.
There's something different for me than it was when I was, say,
eight or nine years old.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Chris Burfett, Yeah, I'm mostly coming from this as being
a football guy. I think there is part of me
when I go to a game live. Now there's been
a bit of a shift, I think, kind of like
Burret saying, it is a bit of seeing it as
travel and at least for football, it's a lot about
the tailgate. In fact, it's become so much about the
tailgate and meeting people before the game, be that a
(17:54):
Lion's game, or when I went with my dad a
couple of years ago to a Notre Dame game, or
when I go to US back to USC Like, it's
about who I'm meeting up around the tailgate, getting to
know people, either being introduced through friends or just random
people showing up at their at you know, with whatever
they've got going on. That the game almost becomes a
bit of an afterthought. I feel like I've been more
(18:16):
connected and more connecting to the game was when I
went to a bar with dedicated fans. I I think
it was Texans Lions. There's a bar in town for
a lot of Detroit Lions fans called Drugstore Cowboy on
Sunset Boulevard and like some Eagles fans have just cleared out,
but it is primarily a Detroit Lions bar. And that
(18:37):
was probably one of the greatest moments I've had in
my life. And yeah, it's just the TVs NBC, but
everyone's going nuts. They're handing up free Honolulu Blue shots
around halftime and everything. But that was absolutely because we're
all tuned into the same TV. It's working there, but
at a game itself, I feel like I'm trying to
remember the last game I went to. It just it
(18:58):
felt like I was more into the tailgate than the
game itself. And that's something I cannot have said probably
like ten years ago. Something is definitely evolving.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
In me, and I understand that we come from it.
As we're talking here is maybe a little different perspective
than the listener, but we're all sports fans at heart.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Even Ryan Hollins, who spent again.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
A decade in the NBA, played a national championship game,
like you're still a sports fan, Like that'll never go away.
And that's what I realize in those situations. And so
when Berschinger talks about it, it's like traveling. It's like, yeah,
there are a lot of pains, and yeah, stuff does
cost a lot more. Right now, you're absolutely right about that.
Isaac's plointively of the prices. But there is just something
(19:40):
about being at the game and being there that in
the end, all that other stuff then just kind of
falls by the wayside because you are there with the experience.
But yeah, it's just it's something that is especially in
this day and age when the viewing experience at home
is so good that sometimes you're like, well, I'll just
watch it at home. It's a better view. Maybe it is,
(20:00):
but there's just something that you can't top for going
to the arena or the or the field or stadium.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Well, I tell you one thing, even though you do
see every game and you can say, okay, this is working, obviously,
it's really cool to see people.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
All games are not created equal.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
And I'm gonna tell you one thing you know from
our perspective is when they talk about who's the face
of the NBA, who are the who draws numbers?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Who's box office?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
You can see the glow in the arena, and by
answering that, you know wherever you are in your hometowns,
and you sit back and say, who would I spend
one thousand dollars to see?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Who would I spend one hundred dollars to see? Who
would I go and make it worthwhile to sit in
my car and do this? And a lot of.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
People are waitmitt, why is the I'm tired of hearing
about Lebron James, I'm tired of hearing about Steph Curry.
Those two names ring bells, those are, by far are
unanimously still even with Wimby, Anthony Edwards, all these guys,
those ones are those names still draw the numbers. And
when you appreciate Lebron, you appreciate Curry, you appreciate those
(21:13):
guys who've been doing it for so long that Kevin
Durantz right there in the mix, you realize, man, this
guy was getting that call. He was getting the nod
for years now. Lebron has been box office for years. Okay,
So as far as that love them, hate them, whatever, Oh,
Lebron's in town. We're coming to the game, Curry's in town.
(21:36):
We're coming to the game. Like when you have that
type of a zaying and as the NBA looks for it's.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Next guy, you know that you have a guy because
of that. You know you have a guy.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Because they're selling out arenas, they're selling out stadiums. You
know that team has a different glow and it's something
that you want to see, you something you know that
you want to be a part.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I think there's a comparison to my Buffalo Bill's take.
If you know the Bill Stadium is going to be
around much longer. Who knows how long Lebron and Steph
are going to be around. You know, so you haven't
seen him yet, or you want to see one last
dance with them. There's maybe even more urgency to see
those players. Even though I told Ryan Hollins last year
that Lebron should retire, that's a completely separate topic. You

Speaker 5 (24:39):
I am ready?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
All right? The team of three? Are you guys ready?
Speaker 8 (24:42):
There is one of them, Fennis Dembo.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
We'll find out, all right, Ryan Hollins, you heard the
list of teams. Fucks, Nets, Bulls, Caves, MAVs, Nuggets, Pacers, Heat, Nick, Sons, Kings,
and raptors. It's your choice to pick one of those teams.
And by the way, once the team is used, they
are off. No one can use them again, so cross
them off on your list.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
I pick a team and then you, guys name the
retired players.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
You pick a team, and I'll give you a name
of the player, and you have to tell me if
their jersey is retired or not. Okay, so they won't
be participating if you take this team, they will not
be participating. Okay, So just one point for a correct answer.
Out of those twelve teams, you want to pick one
of the one of the twelve.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Ryan Hollins, Oh, I get first pick. Yes, the Miami Heat.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Okay, the Miami Heat is Shaquille O'Neill's number retired with
the Miami Heats.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Shaquille O'Neill's number is not retired by the Miami Heat.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Okay, Ryan Hollins, I've got bad news for you. It
is number thre Yes, number thirty two retired by the
Miami Heats. Not this time, Yes, shacks thirty two hanging
in the rafters in Miami. What are not going to
retire Jordan's twenty three? And you never played a game.
They better retire Shacks if you brought him a title
(25:58):
like he did in Miami. All right, Ryan Hollins, you're
behind the eight ball. Let's go to the team of three.
You guys want to pick a team, Birsch, go ahead
and grab a team.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
How about the Chicago Bulls?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Okay, Scotty Pippen. What do you guys think, Isaac, Ryan, Chris,
do you think Scotty Pippens jersey is retired by the Bulls.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, yeah, it's gotta be right, Yeah, yes, it's gotta be.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
It is number thirty three, hangs from the rafters at
United Center. So Scottie Pippen off the board. Team three
up won nothing in fact, Team three. This is what
we're gonna do. You get the next pick and then
we'll be back to Hollins. Then Ryan gets two Team
three pick again.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So I think we're just talking in here. I think
we're gonna take the Toronto Raptors.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Now, the Toronto Raptors, what about Damon Stottamayer, Damon Stottamayer,
the Toronto Raptors.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
And we're gonna say no, no, no, that is correct.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It is not retired. First draft pick of the team,
not retired. Vince Carter recently had his retired by the
Toronto Raptors. All right, Ryan Hollins, youre to nothing, but
it's over to you. I am going to go Fox Nets, Calves, MAVs, Nuggets, Pacers,
Nick Sons, and Kings are still available. Let's go all right, Paiserstoyakovic,
(27:14):
it's his number retired by.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
The Sacramento No, it's not, it's not.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
It is number sixteen. Has Wow, the rafters the Golden
One Center.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Are they watching Game seven?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
The Lakers?
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
It is Listen. When you don't win titles, you know,
there's you just kind of gotta you gotta retire someone's jersey,
right Wow, played for them from nineteen ninety nine to
two thousand and six. Pass off the board. You are
not on the board yet, Ryan Hollins, But you get
another pick.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Okay, give me the other options.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Again, Fox Nets, Calves, Let's go Hawks. Let's go Hawkwks.
What about to Kembi Mutombo? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, rip to
the great to Kenby mud is number fifty five, retired
by the Hawks. All right, let's go to team three.
What team you want next?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Okay, go ahead, go ahead, Bush, talk about.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
The Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
All right, Charles Barkley, I would say, yeah, yeah, this
feels like a trap, but yes.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, for sure, it is retired Number thirty four, retired
by the Phoenix Suns. It's three to one here, you
guys get to pick again.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You know what should be an interesting one here, let's
go with the nets.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
The nets? All right?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Vince Carter, Wait, really hold on, Ilo, your MIC's up,
so like, why are.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You just giving you hand signals?
Speaker 9 (28:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And the three of us so you guys could whoe too,
Vince Carter, you don't think that his number is retired
by the nets?
Speaker 8 (28:52):
By the nets.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I'm I'm leaning with Isaac.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
If his was just retired by the Raptors, then I
don't think you would have gotten you know what.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
That's that's a fair point. I just's he was such
a big part of my life. I just want to
say yes, But no, I'll go with you. They will No,
it is not retired.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Number fifteen is retired.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
Just did it?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
They just did the Raptors did, which made it so
bad that the Nets were like, yeah, you know, like
he was already but yet you had some bridges to mend.
In Toronto, Hollins, you're back in it. You can even
it up if you get two in a row. The
problem is his teams are running out. You've got the Cavaliers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Pacers,
(29:35):
and Nick's left. Let's go Mavericks, Mavericks. Jason Kidd is
his jersey retired by the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Yeah, they did, Jason's.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
They did not. In fact, Jason Kidd or number five
during his first tenure with the Mavericks, and then when
he returned and won a title with them, or number two.
Neither of those in the rafters in downtown Dallas. So
Jason Kidd off the board, Hollins, you need this one
to stay in the game. Cavaliers, Nuggets, Pacers, and Knicks.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
You know what, Let's go Knicks, all right, Let's go Knicks.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Charles Oakley, No, no, that is correct, especially after him
and James Dolan getting into it a few years ago.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Tickets retired though.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh wow, wow, all right, team of three, there's only
three answers left. You've got two of the next three here.
You get one of them, right, You're gonna win this game. Cavaliers, Nuggets,
and Pacers are the final three. Teams.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Let's go Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Craig e Low.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Ooh, I think we spooked Dilo a bit here.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I was giving yet he's giving a thumb giving soft Yes, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Let's it is not retired.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
It is not.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Actually they retired it and they have a Jordan jersey
hanging just above it.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
That's a joke.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Isaac, got it all right, you're still alive, Hollins. Uh,
team can at least force a tie if you get
this one right. You got Nuggets and Pacers left.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Whose pick is this?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
This is team three.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
Let's go Pacers.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Okay, if you get this right, games over because they
only have one other team ready. Rick Smith's Wow? Rick
Smith's is his number retired by the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Kicking me around here?
Speaker 3 (31:28):
These are borderline right?
Speaker 8 (31:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, I would say yes.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
I've got to say, yes, it is not retired. You're
still alive.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
We may end on a draw here. If you can
get this right, you'll tie it up at three. The
would just like to.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
Note that I was dissenting on Vince Carter the whole time.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Denver Nuggets is the final team. If you get this,
we're tied. Chauncey Billups.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yeah, they did, Chauncy, they did not.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
And the winner of the numbers game is Team three.
Maybe more surprising is Trouncey were three different numbers with
the Nuggets. You wore one, seven, and four during his
various stints with Wow. Yes, but he will not be
the coach after getting that contact extension. Good job, guys. Yeah,
(32:23):
a lot of those were borderline, won't you say?
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Hollins, Yeah, you know what you purposely, you know, chose
the borderline numbers.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
Was a meatball, though, Chuck was a meatball over the center.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
It was that was fun.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
That was fun.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
It's good. Good job with the retired numbers.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
It's Covino and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm
Dan Byer. He is Ryan Hollins. So we are live
from the tirerec dot Com studios. Holland spending ten years
in the NBA, now transitioning to one of us a
member of the media. The analysts for the Houston Rockets.
On their television broadcasts, Rockets will play the last game
of the game once coming up this weekend against the Warriors.
(33:13):
All of a breakdown of what that schedule means. But Hollins,
let's get into tonight break down these matchups Heat and Bulls.
In the first nine to ten matchup winner gets to
face the Hawks, who lost last night to the Magic.
He'd got to go to Chicago. Who do you like tonight?
Speaker 5 (33:31):
I actually like the Bulls.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Since the trades were made, Billy Donovan has really been
able to coach. They get up and down the floor,
they force tempo, they play extremely fast. It just seems
like there's been something missing with the Heat since they
made their trade and Jimmy Butler is now a Warrior,
they haven't had the same mojo. Their a team that's
(33:54):
looking to trying to find their way. Although Tyler hero
can fill it up with the best of them and
Eric Sposter can co with the best of them, they
just don't.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Seem mentally in it. So we'll see how it goes down.
But look for the Bulls to get to try to
force pace.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
So if that pace can get really high and you
get in the you know, in the one fifteen, one
to twenty range, you really gotta favor the Bulls and
look for Kobe white Man. He's been dynamic and he's
been thriving with that fast pace, and they've also played
well along with Josh Giddy, who looks to be coming
into his own and I think he's a guy in
the offseason that Chicago makes moves to really try and
(34:28):
share things up over there.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
So again, I like the Bulls in this matchup.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I was I will readily admit that at certain points
of the season, I thought we were seeing the Mavericks
pack it in and I thought we were seeing the
Kings pack it in. That did not happen. They're in
a nine to ten battle. Winner gets to face the
Memphis Grizzlies for the right to be the eight seed
in the West. It is Anthony Davis able to do
it by himself for the Mavericks to move on tonight
(34:53):
in Sacramento.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
I don't think that he will be able to although
he does have the star pass and take that leap,
and Anthony Davis is a guy that although he is
a world champ, he did it alongside with Lebron, but
him being the one a option, he's gonna have to
prove himself in that matter, and one of his toughest
matchups is against Sabonis, So those two going head to
(35:16):
head is obviously a key matchup. And if Sabonis just
kind of plays him square, obviously the Kings end up
winning this game. So right now I am I'm gonna
give that nod to Sacramento. If there was Kyrie Irving
or they were just a little more healthy, I would
lead towards Dallas. And I think Dallas has a bright future,
but I don't think it's enough for Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3 (35:38):

a total of eight game ones in the NBA Playoffs.
Now we know six of the matchups. We just don't
(35:59):
know the other ones be because of this playing tournament
that is still going on. I'm gonna describe each matchup quickly,
Ryan Hollins, and I want to know if you agree
with me on how we look at this matchup Game
one between the Bucks and Pacers leads things off on
Saturday one o'clock Eastern time on ESPN. That isn't nobody
cares but me series because as a Bucks fan, I
care about it. Pacers fans care about it. Again, this
(36:22):
game three of the series is on ESPN. U I
just nobody cares about it. I don't know. I don't
know how more I can say it, and it hurts
as a fan. But I'm also realistic and I've got
bad news for the Clippers and Nuggets. They would have
been at one o'clock Eastern time on Saturday if they
were in the Eastern Conference. They're not. They're in the West,
So that's why they're playing at three thirty Eastern time
(36:43):
on ESPN Saturday afternoon. The Nix and Pistons get a
primetime game because they're at the Garden at six o'clock
Eastern time, and the favorite first round series is Timberwolves
and Lakers. It's putting that prime spot eight thirty Eastern
time on Saturday night on ABC.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
You got any problems with how I describe those four games,
Ryan Allens.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
I don't, And if you know, if Damian Lillard was playing,
it'd be a whole different thing there. So again, I yeah,
but again, the team that I want to look forward at,
and I wouldn't be surprised if they made a lot
more noise than expected is the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
I think they've been disrespected. I think they've been overlooked.
And I'm telling you, man, Rick Carlisle can coach his
tail off. I would not be surprised if the Pacers
win this series.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Well, I'll tell you your Warriors. Rocket series would have
been on ABC. But they just want to give Steph
Curry and the Warriors as much rest, so they're putting
it the last game on Sunday. Thunder are playing on ABC,
trying to show everybody that they care. Don't kid yourself,
Nobody's going to care about the Magics and Celtics except
Boston and the Cavaliers and whoever they play. They're lucky
to be on Pluto, not to be on Pluto TV. Hollins,
(37:51):
it's been fun

can find me at Dan Byer on Fox. Chris Purfetzer,
Technical producer, Ryan Berschinger our execs. I get a producer
in Isaac Low and cron Is at the news desk, Hollins,
(01:03):
let's get this thing rolling again for another hour in
for CNR here on a Wednesday. I went to a
ballgame last night. Saw the Dodgers beat the Rockies at
Dodger Stadium, final score six to two. Tommy Edmund four
hits last night for the Dodgers. Sho Heyo Tani really
didn't do anything last night for the Dodgers. I tried
(01:23):
to record every at bat. She's hoping there'd be a
home run and would have a great view and could
put it up on social media, maybe get some traction.
But instead it was I think he walked at one
point and struck out. So I just have a bunch
of short at bats from sho Heyo Tani on my phone.
But I thoroughly enjoyed last night, not only because of
the great scene that was put on at Dodger Stadium
(01:45):
Ryan for Jackie Robinson Day. But I do like live events.
I've noticed as I've gotten older, I don't like to
deal with traffic. I don't like to deal with parking
and those sorts of things, and like getting to your seats.
And I went with Doug Gottlieb Show producer Jason Stewart
last night. He was kind enough to invite me along
(02:06):
at one point. Yeah, it was awesome, And Jason went
to go and grab a drink at the concessions and
then two girls came down and said, you're in our seats.
So I was in the wrong section. At the time,
we had already gone through a bag of peanuts, so
the game hadn't even started. Shells everywhere, and these two
poor women had to sit where all of our peanut
shells were. Well, we were actually a section over. Still,
(02:29):
with that being said, it was a great experience. It's
a different experience obviously when you're an adult as opposed
to as a kid. But I still get excited about
going two live events, and when you're at live events
and when you're at these games and at these spectacles.
And as I've gotten older, I feel that the parking
(02:51):
and stuff and the drive and how it takes time
out of your day and you have other stuff like
that can all creep in and make it a negative experience.
There is something about being at the ballpark that I
think so many sports fans can can you know, relate to,
And it's something about whether it's a ballpark or an
arena in your case with the Rockets, And that's where
(03:13):
I kind of want to go with this. And I'm
curious on Bursa's thoughts and Chris Burfett and Isaac Glowing Kron.
Isaac's you know, done play by play at all levels,
for for college basketball, college football, the NFL, the whole deal.
So he's kind of a little bit in your boat
with media wise, Ryan, But you're also a former athlete
that's been a decade in the NBA. Do you get
(03:35):
excited for live events? Is it still there for you?
Can you go back to when you were a kid
and maybe able to, you know, go to an NFL game,
or go to a baseball game, or go to an
NBA game? Is it the same for you after playing
in the league for so long and now being a
television analyst.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I finally get to enjoy the game. It's the coolest
thing about what I do. I get to enjoy it.
And when you're playing, you get there early, you got
shoot around that day, you've been through practice, you got family.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
You don't get to enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
And if there's a guest or somebody at the game,
they're waiting until you get done working out or showering
or whatever. Like you're at work. You're working now, Make
no mistake, Da, It's not mistaken. I'm working too, but
my hours are much different. When the game starts, or
we do you know, our pregame hit before we roll
(04:39):
into the broadcast, I start. Then when the buzzer goes,
or I have my last hit, I'm done. If you're
a coach, you're watching film after the game. If you're
a player, you're working out at the game. If you win, loser, draw,
you're taking that one home with you.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Buddy.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
You know what I feel the losses, I feel the wins,
maybe a lot more than I should, Dan, I admit,
But at the end of the day, I get to
go home and rest and focus on you know, my
family where you know I grew up, Dan, and you
grew up also, whether we said Banana or Mississippi in
the generation where.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You were one thousand and one, one thousand, right.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But like if you lost, you took it home with you.
Like for a long time, when I would lose, we
all met. Don't talk to me, don't nothing. I took
those losses home. It wasn't until later on that I
learned to, you know, manage my emotions with the game
and manage my frustrations and know that it's not my
famili's or anybody else's fault.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
But that's what you know.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Coaches don't laughing on the bus, No talking on the bus,
you know you just lost the game. You know, have
some professionalism. Those are all the things that we would
have to take in. But now now I get to
enjoy the game, Damprus. I get to enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's it. That's cool.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Then I'll give you this, like I'll have family.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
If somebody comes down or and before the game and
you know, I'm kind of hanging out in the court
or talking with them and they're.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Like, well, do you have to go? Do you have
to do They're so used to be doing stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I'm like, nope, I don't work until you know, we'll
do our hit, you know, thirty or thirty five or
twenty five on the clock. It's always different, but it's
it's it's so I'm enjoying the game. It's a completely
different aspect. So to answer, it's almost like a for me, Dan,
like a retirement, like a like I get to see
(06:29):
the stuff that as a player, like you know, like
in the huddle, you didn't want to be the guy
off looking at.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
The cheerleaders or shook at the halftime show, right.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
You get screamed that for that, right, I would say
that I would think it would probably get old walking
from the tunnel to the court for you, like because
you've done it so many times in an arena, But
that is that's the rush for me as a fan,
is that first glimpse of the field, specifically in a
(06:56):
football stadium, because it's usually surrounded, you know, a glassed out.
At Dodger Stadium, we went in through center field newly renovated,
and then you're seeing parts of it. But there's something
about like walking to like where your tunnel is or
where your seat is and then taking you know, because
it feels like there's a ramp, maybe an incline, but
any when you all of a sudden break through and
(07:19):
you see the stadium, that to me is as close
to sports nirvana, especially at a place where you've never
been before, where if it's been a stadium or a
ballpark and you remember all this history and you say, wow,
this is how I thought it looked. But this is
actually how it looks. And I'm forty eight years old
and I still will get that feeling if I ever
(07:41):
go to a new, a new ballpark. My goal this year,
Ryan true Story is the Bills are getting a new stadium.
I want to see what high Mark Stadium looks like.
And there are only going to be what like ten
more games left in that stadium. I want to figure
out away this fall to go see what it was like.
(08:03):
And then when you go there, you can think, oh,
this is where this is when the Bills came back
from their thirty five you know point deficit to the
Houston Oilers in that playoff game, and this is where
Jim Kelly did this, and this is where Josh Allen
did that. Like that's stuff that I'm looking forward to
as a sports fan. And even though I feel like
I'm jaded, I've been very fortunate throughout my broadcasting career
(08:26):
to go to a lot of really cool events and
be in a lot of cool places and be in
locker rooms when Super Bowl trophies were awarded and NBA,
you know, Larry O'Brian trophies, the same thing World Series.
But there is still something there about going to the game,
and I thought, just from your perspective, just not only
as a player, but you see one hundred Rockets games
(08:47):
a year, you know, like at some point are you
just like okay enough, it's kind of you know, it's
just kind of The arena is basically your second bedroom,
you know that the guest bedroom in your place. I
was curios if it's still had that effect.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Well, you know, the best part of the games for
me is the NBA is a fraternity. So before the
games I get to see like, you know, I'm not
you know, almost half a century like you, Dan, but
I mean, like, hell.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Far behind Ryan Hollands. That's not get a choice here,
You're not that far. You're not talking about the twenty
eight year old Ryan Hollins right now. I know that
for sure. Oh I got that, but look not the case.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
No, And I realized it because guess what, like a
lot of my friends are like head coaches now or
like you know, player development or you know, front office
exacts or former teammates of mine are there. Where in
the past all my friends were like players are still
in college or something. And you know, before the game,
(09:53):
you know, for instance, like I'll Dan, you know, the
cool thing.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
I can go.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
In into a game and I and walk into the
coach's locker room and say hello to him before the game.
There's a lot of former players, a lot of front
office people. Like I get to go and I get
to talk to those people before the game and I
get I get inside scoops and see how you're doing.
(10:17):
I get to see the players and guys and say, man,
how you doing?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
You good? And you know, what's this? Like what's that? Like?
It's the it's the fraternity before the game is my game.
That's the part.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I really not that I enjoy the game, but like, man,
you see someone you dan you imagine every game I go,
I see someone I hadn't seen possibly in ten fifteen years. Man,
you know it could be from college. It's just you
never know. So for me, that's the that's the goal, dude,
that's the gold. I'm and I'm blessed.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I think it's an interesting look into a retired athlete's
you know, view on things. You've been in every main
you know, sporting of events venue that there is when
it comes to the sport of basketball. I mean, heck,
you play your college polypavilion. I mean there's like, you know,
like you've been there, and I was curious on your experience.
(11:09):
I want to bring in the crew Isaac Lohingkron voice
of the Angel City FC in so many voices elsewhere.
Do you still get that feel even as a broadcaster
that's again broadcast NFL games, college hoops, college football, the
whole deal. Do you still get that field going to
the stadium?
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I still do as a broadcaster, and in fact, it
gets better and more profound as each year goes by,
which is interesting because on the flip side, because of that,
I cannot go to a game as a fan. I
can't remember the last time I've been to a game
as a fan or wanted to go as a fan.
(11:45):
In fact, I'll be totally honest, I have a tremendous
amount of respect for the modern sports fan because of
the money it costs to go to a game and
the hassle, the traffic, the parking, the concessions, annoying fans
who might be around you. You know, Ryan and I
are fortunate enough, and you Dan, when you're working these games,
(12:06):
you know, we typically don't have to deal with the
traffic because we get there two and a half three
hours before games, so it's kind of a totally different
experience and just one quick anecdote the same thing, though
the same feeling. There's also an awesome feeling about being
in a completely empty arena and stadium before the fans
(12:28):
come in, before the music turns on. And one of
the most profound memories that I have one of the
coolest things I've ever been lucky enough to do during
his career when I was covering the Lakers, Kobe Bryant
would practice on the court at Staples Center now the
crypt or whatever by himself at four o'clock in the
(12:48):
afternoon before every seven thirty game. He was the only
guy out there, and I got a chance to watch
him by himself, one of the greatest to ever do it,
practiced by myself, backstay back, by himself, backstage, if you will,
before anybody ever got in. The only thing better than
that was the times I used to watch Ryan Hollins
practice during his career.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But that's another story.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Sure, Yeah, apples apples to apples. Yeah, that's that's what
it is. No disrespect. There are advantages, but I just
I realized that like that, there's always going to be
I guess there's always going to be the kid in
me and and I I now in most cases, don't
(13:29):
like going as a credentialed member of the media. I'm
the exact opposite of Isaac. And last night, I'm sitting
there in seats and we had really good seats last night,
and I'm seeing people hug each other as they leave.
Now I'm thinking to myself, are they hugging each other
because they like met up for the game and left,
or they honestly just season ticket holders? And I came, hey, man,
(13:50):
I'll see you, and you know, next home Dan Dodgers
end up go to Texas, you know, this weekend, and
it's kind of like a goodbye that when you have
season tickets with people around you, it's not that they
become family, but they sure become a part of your life,
where a hug is at least warranted when you see
them or let them go.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So it's a complete It's such a unique.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Sort of thing.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Ryan Bursinger, You know, I it's funny because I do
relate to a lot of what Isaac is mentioning. I
went to the Dodger game on Monday night, and I
had this sort of similar experience where for me being
at the game and watching the game itself, I do
feel that it's a ton of fun. I love it,
but I equate it to like traveling. I love to travel,
(14:31):
I love to see new places, but the actual process
of traveling is such a hassle. It is so stressful
going to the airport. Yes, yes, all of that, and
I don't I'm sure that people experience this all throughout
the country and all throughout the world, but I think,
especially in LA we really feel this. For a Dodger
game itself, you're you get to the parking it takes
(14:53):
forever to get into the parking lot. They'll park you
wherever they want to put you. It can be as
far away as possible, and you walk all the way
get into the stadium. Eventually get in, and then you
get through the aisles and the passage ways where all
the convene the food is and everything, and those are
just super jam packed, and it takes forever to eventually
get to your seat. Your seat could be on the
(15:13):
other side of the stadium for you enter, So it's
like such a hassle. And that's what happened to me
on Monday. It was a super jam packed game. We
eventually got to the seats. I got this. I got
a nacho helmet. It was a flame and hot nachos.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
They were great.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
But by the time I get to my seat, I
realized I didn't grab a fork at any point, and
these are completely loaded nachos, and so I'm sitting there.
I carried these nachos for ten minutes, waiting to finally
eat them, and so I resigned myself. I'm like, I'm
just gonna dive in with my hand and deal with it.
Oh that Eventually I did get a fork, but that
(15:46):
was about nothing.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Stuff from the treats.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
No, no, you're not gonna stop me. So but once
i'm I'm in my seat and watching the game, and
I get to hang out there for the next couple hours.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's a ton of fun, but getting there such a hass.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I want to get Chris Prophet's thought. But there's there's
something with this as well. As I remember going to
games as a kid, and I think I was. I
was so in awe of the field again, like of
seeing it for the first time. I remember the first
time seeing lambeau Field and walking through and going to
to you know, my first NFL game and just like,
(16:20):
oh wow, this is crazy. But you're also as a kid,
I'm inavid with the stars, you know, and the and
the players that you would see to play. So I'm
more about seeing, you know, at that time, all right,
who's on? You know, who are the you know, where's
James Lofton and you know Sterling Sharp in those early
(16:40):
Packard days or what you know, whatever team's coming into town.
In terms of oh, you know Jim McMahon, Walter Payton
or they're playing the Bears. Those are the things that
you're like, oh, that's all there. He is there, he
is there is. Now that I'm older, it's different being
a fan and being a fan of players because now
you're older them and it's weird. It's so it's more
of the atmosphere. I was even just watching the lawn crew,
(17:03):
you know, the field crew last night. I said, how
does Major League Baseball not market their garden hoses for
the fields because forty year old guys like me that
are now obsessed with their lawns. I'd be like, yeah,
I got the official watering hose of the Dodgers. It's
the exact one that they use on the field, Like,
there's so many different things now at the ballpark that
I was enamored with last night and watching that I
(17:25):
hadn't been to in nine years, but it's still there.
There's something different for me than it was when I was, say,
eight or nine years old.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Chris Burfett, Yeah, I'm mostly coming from this as being
a football guy. I think there is part of me
when I go to a game live. Now there's been
a bit of a shift, I think, kind of like
Burret saying, it is a bit of seeing it as
travel and at least for football, it's a lot about
the tailgate. In fact, it's become so much about the
tailgate and meeting people before the game, be that a
(17:54):
Lion's game, or when I went with my dad a
couple of years ago to a Notre Dame game, or
when I go to US back to USC Like, it's
about who I'm meeting up around the tailgate, getting to
know people, either being introduced through friends or just random
people showing up at their at you know, with whatever
they've got going on. That the game almost becomes a
bit of an afterthought. I feel like I've been more
(18:16):
connected and more connecting to the game was when I
went to a bar with dedicated fans. I I think
it was Texans Lions. There's a bar in town for
a lot of Detroit Lions fans called Drugstore Cowboy on
Sunset Boulevard and like some Eagles fans have just cleared out,
but it is primarily a Detroit Lions bar. And that
(18:37):
was probably one of the greatest moments I've had in
my life. And yeah, it's just the TVs NBC, but
everyone's going nuts. They're handing up free Honolulu Blue shots
around halftime and everything. But that was absolutely because we're
all tuned into the same TV. It's working there, but
at a game itself, I feel like I'm trying to
remember the last game I went to. It just it
(18:58):
felt like I was more into the tailgate than the
game itself. And that's something I cannot have said probably
like ten years ago. Something is definitely evolving.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
In me, and I understand that we come from it.
As we're talking here is maybe a little different perspective
than the listener, but we're all sports fans at heart.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Even Ryan Hollins, who spent again.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
A decade in the NBA, played a national championship game,
like you're still a sports fan, Like that'll never go away.
And that's what I realize in those situations. And so
when Berschinger talks about it, it's like traveling. It's like, yeah,
there are a lot of pains, and yeah, stuff does
cost a lot more. Right now, you're absolutely right about that.
Isaac's plointively of the prices. But there is just something
(19:40):
about being at the game and being there that in
the end, all that other stuff then just kind of
falls by the wayside because you are there with the experience.
But yeah, it's just it's something that is especially in
this day and age when the viewing experience at home
is so good that sometimes you're like, well, I'll just
watch it at home. It's a better view. Maybe it is,
(20:00):
but there's just something that you can't top for going
to the arena or the or the field or stadium.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Well, I tell you one thing, even though you do
see every game and you can say, okay, this is working, obviously,
it's really cool to see people.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
All games are not created equal.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
And I'm gonna tell you one thing you know from
our perspective is when they talk about who's the face
of the NBA, who are the who draws numbers?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Who's box office?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
You can see the glow in the arena, and by
answering that, you know wherever you are in your hometowns,
and you sit back and say, who would I spend
one thousand dollars to see?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Who would I spend one hundred dollars to see? Who
would I go and make it worthwhile to sit in
my car and do this? And a lot of.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
People are waitmitt, why is the I'm tired of hearing
about Lebron James, I'm tired of hearing about Steph Curry.
Those two names ring bells, those are, by far are
unanimously still even with Wimby, Anthony Edwards, all these guys,
those ones are those names still draw the numbers. And
when you appreciate Lebron, you appreciate Curry, you appreciate those
(21:13):
guys who've been doing it for so long that Kevin
Durantz right there in the mix, you realize, man, this
guy was getting that call. He was getting the nod
for years now. Lebron has been box office for years. Okay,
So as far as that love them, hate them, whatever, Oh,
Lebron's in town. We're coming to the game, Curry's in town.
(21:36):
We're coming to the game. Like when you have that
type of a zaying and as the NBA looks for it's.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Next guy, you know that you have a guy because
of that. You know you have a guy.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Because they're selling out arenas, they're selling out stadiums. You
know that team has a different glow and it's something
that you want to see, you something you know that
you want to be a part.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I think there's a comparison to my Buffalo Bill's take.
If you know the Bill Stadium is going to be
around much longer. Who knows how long Lebron and Steph
are going to be around. You know, so you haven't
seen him yet, or you want to see one last
dance with them. There's maybe even more urgency to see
those players. Even though I told Ryan Hollins last year
that Lebron should retire, that's a completely separate topic. You

the three man team of he, Ryan Berschinger, and Chris
Purffett that Ryan are going to try to take you
down in a game called the Numbers Game. You guys
don't know what this game is all about, but it
has to do with something that we talked about earlier today.
(23:49):
Dunkt Ryan Hollins, one versus Three. I have got twelve
NBA teams listed, and I'm gonna give you a name.
Those are our subjects. You can pick which team and
then I will give you a player from that team,
and you have to tell me if that player's jersey
(24:11):
is retired by that team or not. Hey, I've got
twelve NBA teams. The teams are the Hawks, the Nets,
the Bulls, Cavaliers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Pacers, Heat, Knicks, Sons, Kings,
and Raptors. I'm gonna give you a player from their past.
(24:32):
You have to tell me if their jersey is retired
or not. Ryan Hollins, are you up for this challenge?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
I am ready?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
All right? The team of three? Are you guys ready?
Speaker 8 (24:42):
There is one of them, Fennis Dembo.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
We'll find out, all right, Ryan Hollins, you heard the
list of teams. Fucks, Nets, Bulls, Caves, MAVs, Nuggets, Pacers, Heat, Nick, Sons, Kings,
and raptors. It's your choice to pick one of those teams.
And by the way, once the team is used, they
are off. No one can use them again, so cross
them off on your list.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
I pick a team and then you, guys name the
retired players.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
You pick a team, and I'll give you a name
of the player, and you have to tell me if
their jersey is retired or not. Okay, so they won't
be participating if you take this team, they will not
be participating. Okay, So just one point for a correct answer.
Out of those twelve teams, you want to pick one
of the one of the twelve.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Ryan Hollins, Oh, I get first pick. Yes, the Miami Heat.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Okay, the Miami Heat is Shaquille O'Neill's number retired with
the Miami Heats.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Shaquille O'Neill's number is not retired by the Miami Heat.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Okay, Ryan Hollins, I've got bad news for you. It
is number thre Yes, number thirty two retired by the
Miami Heats. Not this time, Yes, shacks thirty two hanging
in the rafters in Miami. What are not going to
retire Jordan's twenty three? And you never played a game.
They better retire Shacks if you brought him a title
(25:58):
like he did in Miami. All right, Ryan Hollins, you're
behind the eight ball. Let's go to the team of three.
You guys want to pick a team, Birsch, go ahead
and grab a team.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
How about the Chicago Bulls?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Okay, Scotty Pippen. What do you guys think, Isaac, Ryan, Chris,
do you think Scotty Pippens jersey is retired by the Bulls.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, yeah, it's gotta be right, Yeah, yes, it's gotta be.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
It is number thirty three, hangs from the rafters at
United Center. So Scottie Pippen off the board. Team three
up won nothing in fact, Team three. This is what
we're gonna do. You get the next pick and then
we'll be back to Hollins. Then Ryan gets two Team
three pick again.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So I think we're just talking in here. I think
we're gonna take the Toronto Raptors.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Now, the Toronto Raptors, what about Damon Stottamayer, Damon Stottamayer,
the Toronto Raptors.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
And we're gonna say no, no, no, that is correct.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It is not retired. First draft pick of the team,
not retired. Vince Carter recently had his retired by the
Toronto Raptors. All right, Ryan Hollins, youre to nothing, but
it's over to you. I am going to go Fox Nets, Calves, MAVs, Nuggets, Pacers,
Nick Sons, and Kings are still available. Let's go all right, Paiserstoyakovic,
(27:14):
it's his number retired by.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
The Sacramento No, it's not, it's not.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
It is number sixteen. Has Wow, the rafters the Golden
One Center.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Are they watching Game seven?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
The Lakers?
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
It is Listen. When you don't win titles, you know,
there's you just kind of gotta you gotta retire someone's jersey,
right Wow, played for them from nineteen ninety nine to
two thousand and six. Pass off the board. You are
not on the board yet, Ryan Hollins, But you get
another pick.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Okay, give me the other options.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Again, Fox Nets, Calves, Let's go Hawks. Let's go Hawkwks.
What about to Kembi Mutombo? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, rip to
the great to Kenby mud is number fifty five, retired
by the Hawks. All right, let's go to team three.
What team you want next?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Okay, go ahead, go ahead, Bush, talk about.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
The Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
All right, Charles Barkley, I would say, yeah, yeah, this
feels like a trap, but yes.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, for sure, it is retired Number thirty four, retired
by the Phoenix Suns. It's three to one here, you
guys get to pick again.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You know what should be an interesting one here, let's
go with the nets.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
The nets? All right?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Vince Carter, Wait, really hold on, Ilo, your MIC's up,
so like, why are.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You just giving you hand signals?
Speaker 9 (28:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And the three of us so you guys could whoe too,
Vince Carter, you don't think that his number is retired
by the nets?
Speaker 8 (28:52):
By the nets.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I'm I'm leaning with Isaac.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
If his was just retired by the Raptors, then I
don't think you would have gotten you know what.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
That's that's a fair point. I just's he was such
a big part of my life. I just want to
say yes, But no, I'll go with you. They will No,
it is not retired.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Number fifteen is retired.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
Just did it?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
They just did the Raptors did, which made it so
bad that the Nets were like, yeah, you know, like
he was already but yet you had some bridges to mend.
In Toronto, Hollins, you're back in it. You can even
it up if you get two in a row. The
problem is his teams are running out. You've got the Cavaliers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Pacers,
(29:35):
and Nick's left. Let's go Mavericks, Mavericks. Jason Kidd is
his jersey retired by the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Yeah, they did, Jason's.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
They did not. In fact, Jason Kidd or number five
during his first tenure with the Mavericks, and then when
he returned and won a title with them, or number two.
Neither of those in the rafters in downtown Dallas. So
Jason Kidd off the board, Hollins, you need this one
to stay in the game. Cavaliers, Nuggets, Pacers, and Knicks.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
You know what, Let's go Knicks, all right, Let's go Knicks.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Charles Oakley, No, no, that is correct, especially after him
and James Dolan getting into it a few years ago.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Tickets retired though.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh wow, wow, all right, team of three, there's only
three answers left. You've got two of the next three here.
You get one of them, right, You're gonna win this game. Cavaliers, Nuggets,
and Pacers are the final three. Teams.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Let's go Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Craig e Low.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Ooh, I think we spooked Dilo a bit here.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I was giving yet he's giving a thumb giving soft Yes, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Let's it is not retired.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
It is not.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Actually they retired it and they have a Jordan jersey
hanging just above it.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
That's a joke.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Isaac, got it all right, you're still alive, Hollins. Uh,
team can at least force a tie if you get
this one right. You got Nuggets and Pacers left.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Whose pick is this?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
This is team three.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
Let's go Pacers.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Okay, if you get this right, games over because they
only have one other team ready. Rick Smith's Wow? Rick
Smith's is his number retired by the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Kicking me around here?
Speaker 3 (31:28):
These are borderline right?
Speaker 8 (31:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, I would say yes.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
I've got to say, yes, it is not retired. You're
still alive.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
We may end on a draw here. If you can
get this right, you'll tie it up at three. The
would just like to.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
Note that I was dissenting on Vince Carter the whole time.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Denver Nuggets is the final team. If you get this,
we're tied. Chauncey Billups.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yeah, they did, Chauncy, they did not.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
And the winner of the numbers game is Team three.
Maybe more surprising is Trouncey were three different numbers with
the Nuggets. You wore one, seven, and four during his
various stints with Wow. Yes, but he will not be
the coach after getting that contact extension. Good job, guys. Yeah,
(32:23):
a lot of those were borderline, won't you say?
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Hollins, Yeah, you know what you purposely, you know, chose
the borderline numbers.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
Was a meatball, though, Chuck was a meatball over the center.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
It was that was fun.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
That was fun.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
It's good. Good job with the retired numbers.

All of a breakdown of what that schedule means. But Hollins,
let's get into tonight break down these matchups Heat and Bulls.
In the first nine to ten matchup winner gets to
face the Hawks, who lost last night to the Magic.
He'd got to go to Chicago. Who do you like tonight?
Speaker 5 (33:31):
I actually like the Bulls.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Since the trades were made, Billy Donovan has really been
able to coach. They get up and down the floor,
they force tempo, they play extremely fast. It just seems
like there's been something missing with the Heat since they
made their trade and Jimmy Butler is now a Warrior,
they haven't had the same mojo. Their a team that's
(33:54):
looking to trying to find their way. Although Tyler hero
can fill it up with the best of them and
Eric Sposter can co with the best of them, they
just don't.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Seem mentally in it. So we'll see how it goes down.
But look for the Bulls to get to try to
force pace.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
So if that pace can get really high and you
get in the you know, in the one fifteen, one
to twenty range, you really gotta favor the Bulls and
look for Kobe white Man. He's been dynamic and he's
been thriving with that fast pace, and they've also played
well along with Josh Giddy, who looks to be coming
into his own and I think he's a guy in
the offseason that Chicago makes moves to really try and
(34:28):
share things up over there.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
So again, I like the Bulls in this matchup.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I was I will readily admit that at certain points
of the season, I thought we were seeing the Mavericks
pack it in and I thought we were seeing the
Kings pack it in. That did not happen. They're in
a nine to ten battle. Winner gets to face the
Memphis Grizzlies for the right to be the eight seed
in the West. It is Anthony Davis able to do
it by himself for the Mavericks to move on tonight
(34:53):
in Sacramento.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
I don't think that he will be able to although
he does have the star pass and take that leap,
and Anthony Davis is a guy that although he is
a world champ, he did it alongside with Lebron, but
him being the one a option, he's gonna have to
prove himself in that matter, and one of his toughest
matchups is against Sabonis, So those two going head to
(35:16):
head is obviously a key matchup. And if Sabonis just
kind of plays him square, obviously the Kings end up
winning this game. So right now I am I'm gonna
give that nod to Sacramento. If there was Kyrie Irving
or they were just a little more healthy, I would
lead towards Dallas. And I think Dallas has a bright future,
but I don't think it's enough for Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
That's the play in tournament tonight. Be sure to check

a total of eight game ones in the NBA Playoffs.
Now we know six of the matchups. We just don't
(35:59):
know the other ones be because of this playing tournament
that is still going on. I'm gonna describe each matchup quickly,
Ryan Hollins, and I want to know if you agree
with me on how we look at this matchup Game
one between the Bucks and Pacers leads things off on
Saturday one o'clock Eastern time on ESPN. That isn't nobody
cares but me series because as a Bucks fan, I
care about it. Pacers fans care about it. Again, this
(36:22):
game three of the series is on ESPN. U I
just nobody cares about it. I don't know. I don't
know how more I can say it, and it hurts
as a fan. But I'm also realistic and I've got
bad news for the Clippers and Nuggets. They would have
been at one o'clock Eastern time on Saturday if they
were in the Eastern Conference. They're not. They're in the West,
So that's why they're playing at three thirty Eastern time
(36:43):
on ESPN Saturday afternoon. The Nix and Pistons get a
primetime game because they're at the Garden at six o'clock
Eastern time, and the favorite first round series is Timberwolves
and Lakers. It's putting that prime spot eight thirty Eastern
time on Saturday night on ABC.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
You got any problems with how I describe those four games,
Ryan Allens.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
I don't, And if you know, if Damian Lillard was playing,
it'd be a whole different thing there. So again, I yeah,
but again, the team that I want to look forward at,
and I wouldn't be surprised if they made a lot
more noise than expected is the Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
I think they've been disrespected. I think they've been overlooked.
And I'm telling you, man, Rick Carlisle can coach his
tail off. I would not be surprised if the Pacers
win this series.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Well, I'll tell you your Warriors. Rocket series would have
been on ABC. But they just want to give Steph
Curry and the Warriors as much rest, so they're putting
it the last game on Sunday. Thunder are playing on ABC,
trying to show everybody that they care. Don't kid yourself,
Nobody's going to care about the Magics and Celtics except
Boston and the Cavaliers and whoever they play. They're lucky
to be on Pluto, not to be on Pluto TV. Hollins,
(37:51):
it's been fun
